I have a tattoo on the back of my shoulder. I do not carry my weight in my upper body... Curious George and his balloons shouldn't sink too much, will they?

Hard to say, but I lost a little over 70 pounds and I'm shocked at all the places my body has changed. I'm sure in the end you'll feel so good it won't matter if George looks a little different.

It depends. Shoulders carry less fat as a general rule, which is one reason they're nice for inking. Also relevant is how/if your weight has fluctuated since getting it done. If it's stretched out at all, it's not going to to back quite the same way, as ink tends to spread over time, even if carefully tended to. You can see that in older tattoos and tattoos in high-traffic (waist, feet, hands, bra strap) areas. All artwork should be taken care of in order to look as good as it can for as long as it can
